Skeletal System

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Assemble the parts of the skeletal system.

2. Identify the parts of the skeletal system

3. Describe the structure and function of the parts of the skeletal system.

FOUR PICS ONE WORD:

What is the word that is being described by the pictures?

What will the construction worker do first, in building a house?
How will you compare that to a human body?
Is there a framework that provides structure to the human body? What do you call this framework?

STRUCTURE OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM: TWO DIVISIONS

Includes the skull, the vertebral column, the ribs and the sternum.

AXIAL SKELETON

Includes the bones of the shoulder, arms, hands, hips, legs and feet.

​Read quietly the text below. After reading, answer the questions on the next slides.

Multiple Choice

Based on the text, which of the following best describes the function of the pelvic bones?

• They provide support for the arms.

• They aid the movement of the legs.

• They protect the upper extremities.

• They help in hand movement.

Multiple Choice

Why is it important to know that the femur is the longest bone in the body?

• To identify the function of the lower leg.

• To understand its role in supporting body weight.

• To compare it with the bones in the hand..

• To determine how it connects to the pelvis.

Multiple Choice

What might happen if one of the wrist (carpal) bones is damaged?

• The wrist bone will regenerate without any treatment.
• Damage to a wrist bone can cause pain, swelling, and impaired wrist function.
• No effect will be noticed in wrist movement.
• The wrist will become stronger and more flexible.

Multiple Choice

The text explains the structure of the lower leg. What can be inferred about the role of the tibia and fibula in supporting body weight?

• Neither bone supports body weight.

• The fibula supports body weight while the tibia helps with movement.

• The tibia bears most of the body weight, while the fibula supports balance.

• Both equally share the weight of the body.

Multiple Choice

In relation to the upper and lower limbs, why is the detailed description of the bones significant?

• It highlights the complexity of human anatomy and movement.

• It shows the number of bones humans have.

• It lists the bones alphabetically for easy memorization.

• It explains the evolutionary history of bone development.

Let's Evaluate

Multiple Choice

When assembling the lower limb skeletal system, which bone is connected directly to the hip joint? 

• Tibia

• Femur

• Patella

• Humerus

Multiple Choice

If you were assembling the axial skeleton, which of the following would you NOT include? 

• Skull

• Ribs

• Pelvis

• Vertebrae

Multiple Choice

Which of the following bones is NOT part of the axial skeleton? 

• Skull

• Vertebrae

• Sternum

• Femur

Multiple Choice

The ribcage is part of the skeletal system and functions to protect which organs? 

• Heart and lungs
• Brain and spinal cord
• Liver and kidneys
• Stomach and intestines

Multiple Choice

How do the bones of the vertebral column help the body maintain structure and flexibility? 

• By being rigid and immovable

• By consisting of flexible disks that allow

• By being hollow and lightweight

• By being fused together into a single, inflexible structure

Multiple Choice

Which best describes the structure of the long bones, such as the femur and humerus? 

• They are hollow to make them lightweight and flexible.

• They contain bone marrow, which produces blood cells

• They are flat to protect internal organs.

• They are short and irregular in shape.

Multiple Choice

What role do the joints in the skeleton, like the hinge joint in the knee, play in body movement? 

• They allow bones to fuse together for stability.

• They permit bones to move in various directions, providing flexibility.

• They create rigid connections between bones for strength.

• They help muscles become stronger.

Multiple Choice

Which structure connects bones to muscles to enable movement? 

• Cartilage

• Ligaments

• Tendons

• Disk
